2 months agoGreat for our 14 yr olds birthday. 60 minutes was more than enough time. There were 4 of us which was perfect, more people would have been too many. We're comfy clothes and shoes.
Chloe Agyin
4 months agoIt was my first time here. We selected to play squid game at the recommendation of one of the workers. It was fun, but difficult in a way that took away from the fun. The game mechanics are a hard getting used to, so I wish we would have played an easier game and then come back to play squid game. Overall it was a little pricey - however, they did give us a 15% discount for it being our first time. The workers were helpful and friendly. I’m not sure I’ll be back, it kind of felt like a 1 time for the 1 time activity.

2 months agoWe had an absolutely amazing time at Immersive Gamebox in Salt Lake City! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, fun, and truly immersive. The technology was impressive, the games were engaging, and it was the perfect activity for a family looking to have a blast together. A special shoutout to Tabitha, who went above and beyond to make our visit extra special. She was incredibly friendly, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our experience to the fullest. Her enthusiasm and professionalism truly enhanced our visit. If you're looking for a unique and exciting activity in Salt Lake City, Immersive Gamebox is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be coming back for more fun!

2 weeks agoHad a fun family game night playing Batman! Tabitha was super helpful and friendly and totally made the experience enjoyable! She helped us pick a game that worked for our whole family! Batman was a fun game with a lot of cool mini games and all 5 of us had time to play each mini game! 10/10, will come again!

a month agoOur group had a great time at Immersive Gamebox! This was our second visit, and we enjoyed it both times. The games are unique and fun, offering something different from the usual activities. We did a different game each time and the experiences were definitely different from each other. I'm interested in trying a few more of the games sometime! We did the Ghostbusters game the first time, which was very fast paced and more action focused. The second time we did Psychedelic Mansion, which still had some action/skill sections, but had more of the knowledge/word problem types of scenarios. The staff was extremely welcoming and helpful, making sure everything ran smoothly. The setup is easy to use, and the experience is a great option for a group outing. We've used it as a fun date night twice now with groups of adults. We also see rooms with teenagers having a great time, too. It seems to be a great choice for all ages and is a fun way to mix up our usual routine!
